DATA ACCESS AND REPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Researchers hoping to use data from the Demographic and Health Surveys can submit a proposal to ICF Macro at http://www.measuredhs.com.

This analysis uses the following DHS (stata) datasets:

Household Member Recodes: BFPR43FL, CMPR22FL, CMPR31FL, CMPR44FL, CIPR35FL, CIPR50FL, ETPR41FL, ETPR50FL, GHPR31FL, GHPR41FL, GHPR4AFL, GNPR52FL, KEPR33FL, KEPR3AFL, KEPR41FL, LSPR41FL, MWPR22FL, MWPR41FL, MWPR4CFL, MLPR32FL, MLPR41FL, NIPR22FL, NIPR31FL, NIPR50FL, RWPR41FL, RWPR52FL, SNPR4HFL, TZPR3AFL, TZPR41FL, TZPR4AFL, ZMPR21FL, ZMPR31FL, ZMPR42FL

HIV Datasets: BFAR41FL, CMAR42FL, CIAR50FL, ETAR50FL, GHAR4AFL, GNAR51FL, KEAR42FL, LSAR41FL, MLHT41FL, MWAR4AFL, NIAR50FL, RWAR51FL, SNHT4HFL, TZAR4AFL, ZMHT41FL

Individual Recodes: BFIR43FL, CMIR44FL, CIIR50FL, ETIR50FL, GHIR4AFL, GNIR52FL, KEIR41FL, LSIR41FL, MWIR4CFL, MLIR41FL, NIIR50FL, RWIR52FL, SNIR4HFL, TZIR4AFL, ZMIR42FL 

Men�s Recodes: BFMR41FL, CMMR44FL, ETMR50FL, GHMR4AFL, GNMR52FL, KEMR41FL, LSMR41FL, MWMR4CFL, MLMR41FL, NIMR50FL, RWMR52FL, SNMR4HFL, ZMMR41FL

After downloading these files, researchers can use build.do and analysis.do, as well as the companion files population.dta, oster.dta, and unaids.dta to reproduce the results in this paper.

population.dta gives the 2007 population from the CIA World Factbook.

oster.dta is an electronic version of a subset of the data from Oster, �Estimating HIV Prevalence and Incidence in Africa From Mortality Data,� January 16, 2009 version, formatted to match the other files.  Prevalence estimates are the average of columns 1 and 2 from Table 3.

unaids.dta is a subset of estimates of Adult (15-49) HIV Prevalence by Country, 1990-2007 from the 2008 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic, formatted to match the other files.
